IIRC you can have a seperate dialup with a BT line - but you need the dialup password.

If you do not have a separate dialup account (which you probably haven't anymore ) then I would look at 2 possibilities :

1) Register for a "pay as you go" dialup account (choose your own ISP )

2) Look at sharing your BB with the laptop - either a router, or using ICS in windows - this gives the extra flexibility of BB to the laptop rather than dialup.
